Ia. 7. is to be bound with two sureties to the good behaviour from thence forth Every Alehousekeeper which shall be convicted for any offence against any the branches of either of the two former lawes and the meaning of this Statute shall for the space of three yeares after his conviction be utterly disabled to keepe any such Alehouse Who shall bee a drunkard There is no Law or Ordinance so exactly made by the wisedome of a State but the enemie of mankinde and his ministers and members would invent some device and machination to elude it As to that good law against that odious sinne of drunkennesse there is a great disputation growne as if there were need of a new act to interpret it who shall be accounted a drunkard In the opinion of some famous in that facultie none shall be deemed a drunkard unlesse he be so bereaven of his memorie reason sense and vnderstanding that he is not able to knew the difference betweene his head and feet Et pedis capitis quae sint diserim na nesoit But such sophisticall Symposiarchistes must look backe upon that of Isaiah Vae qui consurgitts mane ad ebrietatem sectandam potandum usque ad vesperam ut vino aestueris that wine may inflame them All excesse of drinking vltra necessitatem which doth inflame and begets a distemper and disorder in the ordinary disposition of nature is to be accounted Drunkennesse He that is strenuus in vino and can carry his burden like a brewers Horse is not more excusable than the weake infirme drunkard All the severall sorts and kindes of drunkennesse may bee reduced under two regiments 1 The one sort which drink ad insaniam till they be so mad as that they will fight with a wall or with their owne shadow in the Moone light 2 The other sort which drinke ad delirium till they fall into a sottish and swinish drowsinesse The Psalmist 107. vers 27. describes them by a comparison of ships on the Sea They reele to and fro and stagger like a drunken man and are at their wits end I neede not speake more of them There are many Sermons and Tracts extant in print against them and yet a man may commonly with grief hold severall sorts of them reeling and in conflict with the stones of the streets in the face of the Sunne and passe with impunitie There follow three mischievous members who are publike enemies to the peace and plenty of a Realm one preyes upon the coine the other two upon the corne and victuall of a Common weale Usurie USurers were here inquirable as offenders against the common Law It appeares by Glanvill li. 7. ca. 16. that their goods and all their chattels which they had at the time of their death were to be seized to the Kings use and their heires to be disinherited and their lands to returne to the Lord
